Master Lou cursed in some unknown dialect before walking over.
The other warriors present watched him warily.
Master Lou cursed impatiently a few more times.
"Forget it, let's just consider it a loss to avert disaster."
With that, Master Lou popped a red pill into the mouth of the warrior lying on the ground.
The two warriors closest to him tried to stop him, but Yan Sheng, who came out from behind, held them back.
Since they couldn't stop whatever this person wanted to do, they might as well try a desperate measure.
Perhaps their comrade could actually be healed?
Thinking of this, Yan Sheng looked at the young girl with an exceptionally complicated gaze.
They were supposed to be the ones rescuing this young girl, but now, the young girl had saved their lives.
After feeding the injured warrior the medicine, Master Lou turned to leave.
But he found the young girl following him, also squatting in front of the injured warrior.
"Can we go now?" Master Lou asked, his face somber.
Jian Sheng used her body to block Master Lou's view and quietly slipped a pill into the warrior's mouth.
After finishing, Jian Sheng silently shook her head at the warriors watching her.
She obediently walked to Master Lou's side.
Xu Shao also got up from the ground, covered in dust, and followed them.
Behind them, a group of warriors exchanged glances.
Master Lou stood behind Jian Sheng and didn't see her feeding the warrior the pill, but they saw it clearly!
The young girl's actions completely stunned them.
They couldn't understand what game she was playing.
Two of them stepped forward to help the injured warrior up and pinched his mouth, trying to retrieve the pill to examine it.
However, when they pried open his mouth, they found nothing inside.
"The person is unconscious, how did such large pills go down his throat?"
The person muttered.
Seeing the receding figures of Master Lou and the others, someone asked,
"Captain Yan, should we follow?"
Yan Sheng shook his head, "Didn't you see the girl's actions before she left?"
"Besides telling me not to mention her small actions, she probably also meant for us not to follow."
"The young girl is much smarter than we thought, and she knows more."
"Since that old man seems to care about the young girl, her safety shouldn't be a concern for now."
"Let's take Chen Feng back to have his injuries examined. You all think about how you're going to report this when we get back."
At that moment, a voice from the earphone confirmed his decision.
Mentioning the post-operation report immediately made everyone's faces fall.
Not only did the operation fail, but supernatural powers even appeared.
If they reported this truthfully, they would definitely be chewed out by their superiors!
Alas, their heads hurt!
-
Luancheng.
Gu Jiangyan and Jian Junru had just retrieved sufficient US dollars from the bank.
It was difficult for ordinary local banks to store such large foreign exchange reserves.
But to deliver the US dollars to the designated time, they had to calculate every second to get there with maximum efficiency.
So after obtaining the fastest obtainable quota from Beijing, they came to Luancheng to supplement the remaining amount.
Then they needed to switch to a helicopter to air-drop this exchanged US dollar cash to the designated location.
The requirement was that no military personnel should be present near the designated location.
If they encountered any problems, Xu Shao and the others at another location would immediately tear Jian Sheng apart as a hostage!
Watching the boxes of US dollars being loaded onto the helicopter, Jian Junru clutched her chest, feeling uneasy.
She had a feeling something would go wrong today.
Gu Jiangyan noticed her hesitation and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"If you don't want to go, don't force yourself."
Jian Junru shook her head and voluntarily stepped onto the plane.
After boarding the plane, her unease intensified.
Her physical movements became restless, and she frequently observed the scenery outside through the window.
Her fingers unconsciously twisted, and she was almost shredding the tissue paper in her hand.
Her anxiety was so palpable that even Gu Jiangyan beside her could clearly feel it.
Gu Jiangyan suddenly shouted to the pilot, "Stop, let her down!"
The pilot obeyed and hovered the helicopter.
But the next moment, Jian Junru's voice rang out, "Keep going!"
The pilot was speechless.
Gu Jiangyan's face darkened.
"Junru, if you go back, they will only have the cash air-dropped. At most, I'll show my face. I'm enough!"
"Having you there doesn't make any difference! Listen to me, go back first!"
Jian Junru was unyielding.
"Do you think they will let you go if you go there?"
"Do you think they will let Sheng Sheng go if I don't go?"
"We just received the latest news, Sheng Sheng has already been taken across the border by them!"
"Do you know what that means? It means we have to do whatever they say!"
Gu Jiangyan placed his hands on Jian Junru's shoulders, his tone serious and irrefutable.
"You go back obediently. If everything is safe, then it's fine."
"If there's real danger, I don't want Sheng Sheng to experience the pain of losing both parents at such a young age."
"You've taken care of Sheng Sheng for so many years, she can't leave you. As for me, I'll just be a passerby."
"For the past four years without me, she lived very well with you. After me, she won't feel any discomfort either."
"Ruoruo, listen to me, go back now, don't be wilful."
He looked at Jian Junru, his eyes showing a rare tenderness.
However, Jian Junru also looked at him, with the same unyielding determination.
She said nothing, but her firm gaze said it all.
Gu Jiangyan frustratingly lowered his hands, wanting to take out a cigarette, but remembering they were on the plane, he gave up.
He now regretted agreeing to let Jian Junru come with him from Beijing.
Jian Junru paid no attention to his attitude; she was also extremely anxious.
Suddenly, she thought of the jade talismans Sheng Sheng had given her.
She had originally intended to distribute them to the Jian family, but with too many things happening recently, she hadn't had time to give them out.
One of them was already around her neck, and she still had a few in her bag.
Although she was skeptical about the effectiveness of the jade talismans, she couldn't think of any other way to cope at the moment.
She took a jade talisman from her bag, then took another after thinking for a moment.
She handed one of them to the helicopter pilot, asking him to keep it safe for the time being.
The pilot, in confusion, put the jade talisman into his pocket.
Jian Junru gave the remaining one to Gu Jiangyan.
"Your daughter gave this to you. Keep it close, don't lose it."
Gu Jiangyan was taken aback and clutched the jade talisman tightly.
He let out a low laugh.
He hadn't expected to receive a gift from the little troublemaker at this moment.
This feeling wasn't bad.
As the helicopter gradually reached the designated location, Gu Jiangyan and Jian Junru, under the pilot's guidance, air-dropped the boxes of US dollars from the helicopter.
Outside the border line was a vast forest, and they couldn't tell if anyone was lurking inside.
But they expected there would be.
Gu Jiangyan sent a message to the other party.
"The cash has been air-dropped to the designated location. You can proceed to check and verify it."
"Junru and I are in the helicopter above. Can you release my daughter now?"
The other side quickly replied.
"Of course."
At that moment, a sense of alarm struck Gu Jiangyan, and his entire body trembled from the sixth sense of impending danger.
He looked up and saw, under the night sky, a missile trailing a long tail of flame, heading towards their helicopter.
Gu Jiangyan's pupils contracted sharply.
